@melibee44.bsky.social FYI - This is what I was referring to. Sam Mraiche bought a building in Edmonton AFTER it was toured by two UCP chiefs of staff and an ADM of Health to see if it would work as a detox centre. ROSC, the private detox services provider, is now the tenant in Mraiche's building. 1

Reading about this new legislation and I keep wondering if the UCP has EVER considered that someone else (like the NDP) may someday be in government. Do they really want another party to have this much power?

Reporter - Isn't the UCP all about free speech? How do you justify banning words that political parties can use in their name? Amery - Look, we're big business now and we intend to keep our monopoly. You'll get one Conservative Party and like it! #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

My Air Fanta 4lite has been moody lately and I’m hoping the filter change helps. On a related note, turns out that air purifiers do actually purify the air.

Trust is never a given — it can only be earned through partnership. My message at the AFN assembly was that as we build major projects and stronger communities, our government will be a true partner in that work.

Please take a moment and listen to Teresa, Ron, and Dwight’s stories of derelict wells on their land and the health impacts. 💔 #AERreform #PolluterPay ecojustice.ca/news/landown...

This is *unhinged.* If your caucus votes non-confidence in your leadership, you're out. There is no arguing that because it's the very basis of how parliament works, party constitution be damned.

I have to say, I'm continuously shocked by just how low this government can go. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

🚨BREAKING!🚨 The NDP revealed yet another real estate deal involving Sam Mraiche and seemed to raise concerns he was might have been given the heads up to buy the building by someone in government! If you watch 2 minutes today, make this it! #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

No. You misunderstood. They hire consultants to fix the problems created by the Health minister refusing to listen to advice from experienced AHS execs or belief data. This is from the last story I published.

They ignore experts and are pushing an ideological agenda not informed by evidence. This won’t end well for Albertans who need healthcare; which could be any of us. None of this should’ve happened. I don’t even know if it’s fixable anymore.

A broken health care system. More people will die due to the UCP's ineptitude, hubris and malfeasance. There is an economic cost, but the cost of illness and death ... it's staggering to think this was the UCP's plan.

BREAKING: Alberta Health Services CEO who took over after a controversial firing in January is now himself out. AHS confirms Andre Tremblay on leave. Minister Matt Jones has appointed a new CEO and chair. Tremblay was named CEO after Athana Mentzelopoulos was fired earlier this year.

It's not quite this bad although it is f*cking bad But that's what you get when you have a rural population that votes conservative no matter what You elect clowns you get a circus #ableg #abpoli

Cypress-Med Hat MLA Justin Wright speaking to invocation of the sovereignty act to spare Albertans from the federal gun buyback program says Stalin supported disarmament which is necessary for the socialist agenda. Stalin was a socialist revolutionary yes, but he was also a totalitarian.

For a council that just voted on a bunch of initiatives to reduce the property tax increase, they sure are freely spending the reserve funds....

In a normal administration this would be a firing offence. www.theatlantic.com/national-sec...

Well the UCP is making up for it ... giving coal companies settlements much larger than their losses. Which are due to UCP flip flopping. And .. a few intelligent folks have suggested UCP could have won in court. Why didn't they want to go to court? Nothing to hide. I'm sure.

Let's see this analysis. Blake Shaffer and Andrew Leach -- actual economists -- wrote a piece back in 2023 arguing that an industrial carbon price of $170 per tonne would do almost all the work of the Clean Electricity Standard.

This. Let's have actual numbers. Are wait times reduced? Is mortality increased for those with life threatening conditions waiting for surgery?

5 Acceptable Body Count: We need to post current surgical wait times for cardiac, bowel, and cancer surgeries. Reinstitute tracking and public reporting of the number of pts who die while on public pay surgical waiting lists. 11/12

Will this admin fee come out of the “private profits”. Monitoring and publicly reporting will take some serious admin (we don’t currently do it in a single payer system, and dual pay will be more complicated), and it will have to be nimble... 9/12

GUARDRAILS have been promised… As an emerg physician I have some serious concerns about our ability to put in proper guardrails, but the ONE THING I do agree with this govt on is that they will be absolutely essential! 1/12
